Description: LOW Lowe's Companies December 02, 2025

Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) is a U.S.-based home-improvement retailer offering a broad assortment of construction, remodeling, and décor products-including appliances, lumber, tools, and seasonal items-through its physical stores, Lowes.com, and mobile apps. The firm also provides ancillary services such as third-party installation, extended protection plans, and design-to-install solutions for builders and property managers, catering to professional contractors, homeowners, and renters.

Key performance indicators to watch include same-store sales growth (which has averaged ~3-4% YoY in recent quarters), the “install-services” contribution margin (currently around 15% of total operating profit), and e-commerce penetration (approximately 12% of total sales, rising at ~20% annual rate). Macro drivers include housing starts (a leading indicator for DIY demand) and consumer discretionary spending trends, while sector-specific factors such as inventory turnover and supply-chain resilience remain critical for margin stability.
